Rock on Beast. YOu just motivated me to go destroy 3 lbs of chicken breast and potatoes.


BTW, have you hit your bench PR yet???


jinxx, you do look a bit thicker in the second pic you posted. Good job. Keep at it and be sure to keep us updated.

Out.

haha! Nice. Im glad I motivated you Paulo! Ive been feeling real driven again, took some time to get it back, get out of the depression. No, I havent hit a bench PR yet. ThanX for asking! I did bench today. and my triceps were fried from two days ago. So that caused problems locking out. Ill post it anyway so I can get ridiculed!! haha

Hey beast, it's been almost two hours since you last posted. So, have you hit your Bench PR yet??? muhahahaha

Yes, I thourougly destroyed the chicken. It had left behind its former self and I was there to tear it apart.

Then I went downstairs and did some gnarly 45 lb bicep curls in my squat rack.....LOL.

Anyways, I read this board for multiple reasons, the main ones being inspiration and advice. It allows me to say to myself; "hey Paulo, with effort and persistence, you WILL be able to DL 500lbs, or bench 400, etc." And so I stay on the path no matter how far away the goal or how slow the progress. For progress is progress anyway you slice it. It means that maybe you only lifted 5 more pounds than a month ago, but nonetheless, that is 5 more pounds stronger than before and 5 more pounds towards your goal. Continually picture yourself the way you want to be and soon enough that picture will be in the mirror looking right back at you. (terribly disjointed metaphor, but I assume you get the idea)


G'day

Hey Paulo! You must not have any mercy on food! haha Little by little is the only way (especially without anabolics). That 5lbs adds up fast. Twenty of those little jumps and your 100lbs stronger. 5lbs a month is even a good gain (60lbs a year). Its true what you say about the mirror. You become what you visualize. With persistance and drive youll be at those goals before you realize it.Keep training hard!!!!!!!!!!
